Zero no Tsukaima Plot:
Zero no Tsukaima revolves around a noble named Louise enrolled in Tristain Academy of Magic. Louise has the nickname “Zero” because she is unable to control any of the four elements all the other nobles can wield. During their second year, students are required to perform a summoning ritual to summon a familiar. Familiars are usually creatures representing their master’s elements that act as their protectors. Louise appears to stay true to her title “Zero” by summoning Saito, a teenage boy from Japan. Embarrassed, Louise accepts her familiar by kissing him then quickly treats him like a slave such as doing her laundry, sleeping on the floor, whipping him for his mistakes, as well as blasting him with her magic. It is soon revealed that Saito is a special kind of familiar called “Gandalfr” who is considered the strongest class of familiar whose duty is to protect the new void mage, Louise. The reason he has to be so strong is because Gandalfr is supposed to protect the powerful mage of the void (the powerful fifth element) and that void magic takes a long time to cast. In this other world there are also other instances where modern objects appear in the magical world such as bazookas, fighter planes, porn magazines and even other people like Saito.
